If Spam doesn't work, then why does it rank?

\I've seen a few videos on Google search results that have a list of spam keywords under the video in the description area. By definition a list of keywords is spam.

People say that spam doesn't work, so how do these videos actually rank?

That kind of spam maybe doesn't work well when visitors see it, but obviously it helps in ranking, with all these keywords. Funny but true

Yes.. In most cases this is hidden from the homepage (people have to click READ MORE or a button like this to see the full description!) ;)

Its a google trick so that people don't manipulate rankings but if they find you spamming they can hammer your site ! it works most time but in few cases google penalty..

Spam work to some extend, so if you spam in a controlled manner, it will definitely work.

The topic is also my question because I had been searching for some videos lately and I have noticed that some videos with millions of views have a long list of keywords. That findings made me wonder because from the discussions here, I have learned that keyword stuffing is shunned by search engines. Now how can those videos get millions of views if the search engine is not working for their keywords?
